Project Car

I'm taking a little time this afternoon to try to push some paperwork, and discovering yet again that there's an easier way to do it than the "way we've always done it". In this case, it's trying to set up some useless funds routing, which of course doesn't work on this computer. I should act surprised.
Well, at any rate, there's the wheels, as you can see in need of some cosmetic work- mainly paint. This should, weather permitting, be an easy task. It's a 91 Corsica, which runs but looks like it's been through Armageddon and halfway back again. But it should be a pretty easy matter to sand and repaint, slap a coat of gloss over it and call it good! This car also doesn't like cold weather (that makes two of us), mainly because it needs a new serpentine belt. Well, this is nothing major, fortunately. I'm hoping to be able to get to work on it shortly, though no sooner do I get started on the interior than the temperature drops well below freezing. Got to love that Oklahoma weather! I have several interesting ideas for this car, none of which are just touch up the paint. I figure what the heck, for what I paid for it I can afford to be a little creative here and there. Originally I was leaning towards going over it with cow spots, but then decided on a white, red and black motif- inspired by a car my son and I created in a video game, Nascar Thunder- once we realized we had the option to design our own car, we were off and running. But nothing too crazy, I figure tidying it up a bit will make for a good resell when the time comes. Still, I need to dispose of my old car as well.
Apart from that, I'm trying (as usual) not to strangle anyone, or just walk the hell away from the motor pool. Actually, that's pretty much what I did today, but under perhaps different circumstances. Working out continues to go well, and proves to be a stress relief. Often I've been going in earlier, which means no chance to work out in the morning. Okay, says I, and usually wind up going twice in one day, alternating out the type of workouts I do. Tomorrow is one such day, we have to be in early to (yet again) account for radios. Seeing as said radios haven't left the motor pool since the last time we inventoried them... But that way lies madness, I'm afraid. Well, time to go look busy, wish me luck, and hope all is well in the world!
